Libraries Are Dead; And Yet …

There’s good and bad in Seth Godin’s post on libraries, as Ben Domenech points out (Get Seth’s latest book, Poke the Box, here)

Seth throws several ideas together, not all of them fully developed. For example, he says, “Five years from now, readers will be as expensive as Gillette razors, and ebooks will cost less than the blades.” How old is the iPod now? Is it as cheap as a razor? There’s no reason for Amazon to sell Kindles at $10 in five years, and does Seth plan to write new ebooks to sell at $5 or less?
